    Dinner! 2007

    Roasted a chicken tonight. Out of the oven after 30 minutes at 500 degress (sorry for the poor pic quality): Stupid me trusted the expert whose recipe I followed and did not even bother to check the temperature of the chicken when I pulled it out. The breast was perfectly done, but when I cut into the thigh meat, it was very pink and the skin was not crispy at all. So I cut off some breast meat and I flipped the chicken and stuck it back into the oven at 450 degress for another 20 minutes. Meanwhile, I ate the breast meat (which was wonderfully moist) with: Mashed sweet potatoes Steamed broccoli After the rest of the chicken finished cooking (I checked with a thermometer this time), I tried a drumstick, and it was super. And even better, the extra time in the oven created a nice, crispy skin. No plate shots because I didn't cut the chicken nicely enough to make it pretty.

    Dinner! 2007

    I have been lurking years, looking at all of the wonderful dinners in awe. Now that I have graduated from college and cooking on a regular basis, I have finally gotten the courage to start posting. Since I cooked something from RecipeGullet (roasted cauliflower), I decided now was as good a time as any to make my first post. My humble dinner: Pan Roasted Chicken Breast with shallot and thyme pan sauce Polenta Roasted Cauliflower Mixed Green Salad with gorgonzola piccante, EVOO, and balsamic 2006 Bolognani Trentino Nosiola I still don't have the courage to post pics (my dinner was definitely not as pretty as the others on this thread), but I must say it was a delicious dinner. And I think it looks good enough on paper to keep posting my dinners Edit: I should add that the roast cauliflower was excellent. Thank you eGullet!
